Comment I can't go fast enough to be efficient! (Score 1) 1114

I'm amazed that the optimal speed range is 40 to 60 mph (or 65 to 95 km/h).

In the town where I live here in Brazil the speed limit is 60 km/h (or 37 mph). Now I know that I'm consuming more gasoline than I needed.

If it's not bad enough, lots of places in the city have some obstacles in the streets to force the drivers to slow down even more. Some of them have some sense, specially near schools, but some are just stupid.

Look what I'm talking about:
